Right after finishing up my last blog about Healing, I started digging a little deeper and ended up with the question, “What if my heart could talk?”. Not what appears on the busy, restless surface, but what lies deep inside, where it’s calm & quiet, things it just keeps inside without saying aloud.

It would say, “I’ve been too good to people who didn’t deserve”

– Not out of anger, but out of love. I’ve always given people the benefit of the doubt. Always focused on the good of my loved ones. But by the time I realized the love and respect weren’t being returned in the same way, the damage had already been done. I was taken for granted.

 It would say, “I’m glad you left behind all the negativity”

-I was made to think I was not good enough. I would never get it together, and everything was somehow my fault. But I’ve found the strength to say “No. It wasn’t me.. I take no blame for the consequences of your choices.” That realization became a huge part of my personal growth journey. Finally separating my self-worth from someone else’s actions.

It would say, “I’m so happy you’re finally making your dreams a priority”

-Out of pure joy and self-satisfaction, I finally feel accomplished that I’m getting closer to my dreams one by one, putting myself before anyone else. I might be on a slow journey, but there’s no guilt anymore. Just a girl who spent too long caring about everyone else’s dreams… Finally learning to offer some of that care to herself and now walking the slower, softer path of self-love and emotional recovery.

It would say, “It’s okay to feel joy and grief at the same time.”

-The truth is, I have been through things that still hurt when I think about them. I used to think I had to get over it to feel happiness. But I know: I can laugh… I can dream… I can move forward! Grief hasn’t disappeared, but neither has the joy that slowly finds its way back into my days.

With the daily hustle, we often forget our hearts hold the biggest wisdom. It knows the purest version of us that no one else outside sees. We need to pause every now and then to listen to our heart, and that quiet moment could be the best remedy we didn’t even know we were craving. In the chaos of life, it’s easy to lose touch with that inner voice. But this is where heart-centered healing begins: with stillness and honesty.

Pause. Breathe. Let it whisper your truth. This is how emotional healing often begins: one small truth at a time.

If your heart could talk right now… what would it say to you?
